Garage Vary front lip

Postby pepejesus » Fri Apr 11, 2008 6:54 pm

Does anyone know where I can get one of these? Had a look at importing one from the US from rspeed but the shipping costs are outrageous!

Any ideas?

You did well to get an answer from them. I tried twice but didn't get a reply. Can I ask how much they wanted for postage?
Street='94 with FFS Coldside. Sold :(
Race='97 with AVO (soon to be Absurdflow) and GT2560 <--- sod that... LS1 conversion underway!

Will try and dig up the emails.

Ah crap, I think I deleted them. Anyway, it was a lot - like about $300 dollars!

I wanted to get in on the group buy through miata.net; $US170 was the asking price I believe.

Roughly $450AUD if you buy from some JDM places in Sydney

I've also seen this website
Clicky for link to Japanparts
If you're talking about the Garage Vary NA Front Lip I was having a look at it before and I think the Urethane (a.k.a. black plastic) one came out to 420ish delivered? (can't really remember because it was a long time ago when I did the sums)

$420 for a lip that's going to be grazed and stone chipped?! :shock: :roll:

I just checked their website and prices. Geez they're expensive.

MX5parts UK are far cheaper (even after the conversation of the exchange rates to OZ$).

Can you pick out one of the reasons I didn't end up buying it?
:lol:

It was hard enough parting with $300 for the OEM front lip... some aftermarket bars don't even go for much more than that... :cry:
(and I've grounded it twice... :cry: :cry: :cry: )

Hmmm... those prices are all the catalogue prices in Japan though?
Shipping as always sets you back an arm and a leg...
You have to pay for the JDMness I guess...

Yep, that's the one. Looks like no matter where it's coming from shipping costs are going to be pretty expensive.

Thanks for the help.
